today/tomorrow i want to give out some little doodles of my ocs to others as a little gift!!! I'd have loved to draw more personal things (like yer ocs) but i feel low on time and ability to draw them well </3
ill probably send them via messages if ive already messaged u before, and asks if not!! let me know if ye have a preference!!!!!!!
I can't title things for the life of me so uh please forgive me-- I'll just call this Cookiemas for now! :D
(just to say in advance, I used she/they pronouns for Roxie!)
"When're ya writin' your list to Santa?"
"I'm not writing a list."
Roxie was shocked at Lucia's response. Christmas was just around the corner, and this killer was being as festive as possible for her first holidays. Swapping out their usual pink sweatshirt for a red one (because red is Christmassy!!) and putting a Santa hat on everything in the house- besides Lucia- Roxie was ready to celebrate! However, her friend didn't seem so prepared.
"Why not? Don't you want any presents?!" Roxie widened her eyes. Lucia just rolled hers.
"I can't think of anything I'd particularly like. Besides, Santa isn't even real anyway."
"YES HE IS!!!!" yelled Roxie defiantly. Santa and his gift-giving was basically the first thing they learned about Christmas. She saw him everywhere in the shops!
"Who do ya think gives the presents to everyone?" She crossed her arms.
Lucia sighed. There was no point in telling Roxie the truth. They wouldn't believe her. She instead drew her attention to the abundance of Christmas decorations surrounding the two of them. Toy reindeer, flashy string lights and a rather miserable Christmas tree to name a few were some of the items that suddenly appeared in her house the other day. Not to mention the Santa hats. So many Santa hats....
"I plan on gettin' more stuff for the outside!" Roxie beamed, noticing how Lucia was..."admiring" her work.
"Please don't. I'm not going to have my house stand out here. Or have you forgotten we're criminals?"
"I know that, duh!" they pouted at the stern look she gave them. "Why can't we have any fun 'round 'ere? It gets BORING, ya know!"
"Your definition of fun is different to mine." The woman narrowed her eyes at Roxie. If only they didn't care about Christmas so much. Maybe then she could've had as much peace and quiet as she usually did- which wasn't a lot, but better than what she had now in December.
An abrupt knock on the door interrupted their bickering. Roxie perked up and excitedly ran to the door, staring through the peephole.
Of course it was Luciano.
"Ah, Roxie! Merry Christmas to you." Lucia's twin brother let himself in and flashed his smug grin.
"Happy Christmas to ya too!!" Roxie was glad someone else FINALLY had some interest in the festive spirit besides her.
"Do ya like the Christmassy stuff?" she asked eagerly. Luciano chuckled, entertained by her childish joy.
"It's certainly colourful. I never knew you had the money to afford all this, my friend."
"Oh nah, I just stole-"
"What do you want?" Lucia interrupted Roxie flatly and glared at her brother. He smugly grinned again.
"Only here to deliver you a present to my dear friend- and sister."
"Hey! That's Santa's job to deliver presents!" Roxie frowned. Luciano gave her a confused looked and blinked slowly.
"Well, where is it?" Lucia grew impatient.
"Right here!" He smiled and out from his suit pocket took out three tickets.
Roxie was...underwhelmed, to say the least. She wanted a butcher's knife and juicy steaks for Christmas, not some paper scraps. Paper didn't even taste nice!
"Ice skating?" Lucia raised an eyebrow reading what was printed on the tickets. Her and Luciano used to do it together when they were younger- one of the few fonder memories she had of her childhood. She was significantly more skilled at skating than her brother, who was as stable as a baby giraffe on ice. She couldn't quite remember why they stopped that tradition.
"Ice skatin'? Huh?" Roxie repeated. This still couldn't compare to a pile of steaks.
Luciano tried to explain. "You know, wearing shoes with blades on the bottom-"
"BLADES?! LIKE KNIVES?!"
"...yes, blades and gliding-"
"-or stumbling," Lucia smirked.
The twin grumbled and tried to continue.
"...across an ice rink. I thought it would be nice for the three of us to do something enjoyable together." His face softened.
Roxie was invested as soon as they heard "blades". Although, knowing Lucia, she doubted she'd want them going. She'd probably say it was "too dangerous" or be a real grouch- no, Grinch- about it.
"Why not?" the woman shrugged gently, holding on to two of the tickets. She decided it would likely be better to keep Roxie's on her too to avoid the risk of consumption.
Luciano and Roxie turned to stare in unison and surprise.
"Quit staring at me funny. I'll go get ready." With another roll of the eyes, she got up and left the room.
"It's not on for another few hours-!" her twin called.
"Nah, she just takes a reeeaaally long time to look nice!" giggled Roxie.
"SHUT IT! I CAN HEAR YOU!" you could hear the embarrassment in Lucia's voice as the other two snickered.
because I think I'd tire myself if I tried to give an individual gift to every beloved mutual I decided to bring out the chocolates. if u can't have dairy pretend it's ur favourite snack of all time instead :3
